Helloooooo you sexy little linguistic listeners ;) Indigenous place names in Australia are being increasingly discussed, as names places and things have always been a way to control the narrative and history of a place. Paul and I invite you into our after dinner discussion of disputes over place names such as Meanjin, Naarm, Boorloo, the benefits and disadvantages of renaming places, and who has agency over the meaning of place names, how they should be pronounced/spelled and who gets to name what and why. Wind down and tune in to another linguistically poppin episode! If you're interested in language topics, check out previous episodes "Slanguage" and "Third Culture Kids as Third Cultured Adults"

Thank you to everyone who ordered a copy of my zine 'Meanjin', I still have a few copies left of my very first zine, 'Confluence' if you enjoy looking at nice film photos and reading some poetry by me.
